My Book House:  "This set of books was a part of my childhood, and instilled in me a love of reading that persists to this day. Each volume begins at a grade level---One being the easiest to Twelve being suitable for high-school level reading. There are selections from some of the finest writers, such as Jonathan Swift, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Rudyard Kipling, as well as fairy tales and folk legends from all around the world, both East and West." -Amazon Review
